Help Empower BC First Nations


Many people and organizations want to support reconciliation and contribute to BC First Nations, but don’t always know how.

At New Relationship Trust (NRT), we make it easy for individuals, corporations, and foundations to support initiatives that truly matter to BC First Nations communities. Whether you’re considering a donation, strategic partnership, or long-term giving plan, we can help you make an impact-one that’s rooted in trust, guided by Indigenous leadership, and built to last

Why Your Support Matters


Across British Columbia, First Nations are working toward stronger communities-socially, economically, culturally, and environmentally. But meaningful progress requires consistent, trusted support.

That’s where you come in.

How You Can Create Impact


When you contribute to NRT, you’re not just making a donation. You’re investing in sustainable, community-driven solutions created by and for First Nations. You become part of a story of transformation-supporting Indigenous governance, youth, Elders, clean energy, food security, language revitalization, and more.
